The present paper discusses the kinetics of Cr (VI) adsorption from aqueous solution using chemically unmodified (USB) and modified (MSB) sugarcane bagasse at different temperature (20, 30 and 40 ±0.5° C). The adsorption of Cr (VI) by MSB increased nearly 11.25% against USB of temperature 20 ± 0.5° C. Low temperature (20 ± 0.5° C) promoted the rate of Cr (VI) adsorption in comparison to 30 and 40 ± 0.5° C. The decrease in rate of adsorption might be due to change in chemical potential which alters the solubility of adsorbate.
